That's great for postcards but what does a 300m+ building do to enhance a city that a building half the size can't? At some point, because of how small we are in comparison, a building's height can't be acknowledged from any vantage point but from afar. Tall is tall and you'd have difficulty discerning the height of one building from another when you're amongst them. So I don't buy this idea that height creates "grandeur" since we can't possibly experience it from the ground level. In fact, to prove the point, go on google street view and look up: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...db72EeRWQaYtrOkFDG61TA&cbp=12,81.13,,0,-11.36 From this vantage point pretty much everything just looks tall, even if Commerce Court and Royal Trust are 50 and 100 metres shorter than First Canadian.
Theterribleone just comes across as a guy who gets off on tall buildings, as though height actually mean anything beyond whether it stands out in a skyline shot.
